Sure, Independence Day celebrations often involve exciting events like pool parties and cookouts and fireworks shows.

That’s the perfect time to break out some Fourth of July jokes that are kid-appropriate. Your kids will be so busy laughing (or rolling their eyes) that they won’t even have time to get too bored.

Like many other kid-friendly jokes using clean humor, these jokes about the Fourth of July rely heavily on puns, wordplay, and generally silly statements.
